New pedagogical models (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The research examines a model of situated learning adopted by one UK university in teaching journalism through practice by looking at perceptions of students. Through analysing data collected in focus groups and interviews with students it will eva... Read More about New pedagogical models.

One-shot 3D printed underactuated gripper (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Underactuated gripping mechanisms allow a wide range of objects to be grasped, with relatively simple control and input. Current 3D printed underactuated grippers are often composed of multiple parts that need assembly before use. Consolidating many... Read More about One-shot 3D printed underactuated gripper.

ShearTouch - Towards a wearable tactile feedback device to provide continuous shear force sensation in real time (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Force feedback in current teleoperation systems typically only provides haptic/kinaesthetic feedback to operators in the form of normal forces. However, it is proposed in this paper that the introduction of shear (or lateral) force feedback to operat...
